MASKED HYPERTENSION-RISK FACTORS AND CONSEQUENCES

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 这项研究的目的是调查导致人们日常生活中的血压与他们在医生办公室的血压不同的因素。此外，这项研究还将确定这种差异是否会对健康造成影响。研究表明，在医生办公室内血压正常，在医生办公室外有高血压，这种现象被称为掩蔽性高血压，这一现象相对常见，可能与器官损伤增加和其他健康问题有关。如果是这样的话，可能会有一些人患有掩盖的高血压，并将从血压治疗中受益。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that cause people's blood pressure during everyday life to differ from their blood pressure in the doctor's office. In addition, the study will determine if this difference has health consequences. Research suggests that having normal pressure at the doctor's office and high blood pressure outside the doctor's office , a phenomenon known as masked hypertension, is relatively common and may be associated with increased organ damage and other health problems. If so, there may be a number of people who have masked hypertension and would benefit from blood pressure treatment.
